It's an inventive way of moving around the massive expanses of the Frontier and Ubisoft have gone for the safer option of letting the game do most of the hard work. This is the first Assassin's Creed in which the main character can run through the trees. Stand atop a tree, fire the rope dart down and then leap off effectively hanging your poor target.įinally, there's venturing into the forests. The most inventive however has to be the rope dart. Elsewhere there's the bow and arrow, perfect for long-distance silent kills. Connor's main weapon of choice is a Native Indian Tomahawk. Weapons have also changed, don't worry, the hidden blades are still there. Ezio had reached the point where we never truly felt we deserved the eye-wateringly impressive kill combos. Personally we see this as an invigorating change. Conner is noticeably harder to use in combat, the requirements to create combo moves and special kills have increased with speed and responsiveness being key. Assassin's Creed 3 gameplay:Ĭonnor is the accumulation of all of Ubisoft's experience with Altair, Ezio and Desmond in creating a character which both feels challenging to control but also retains the fluidity for which the series has become so well known.Ĭombat has also been given a serious work-around, and it may end up becoming a decision which divides people. In continuing the tradition of using famous faces to blur the line between reality and fiction you'll find George Washington and Samuel Adams both making appearances in your quest. That's not to say Ubisoft haven't done their utmost to blur every line of allegiance there is. The Assassin's have their own agenda and that is your focus. Let us be clear right now, this is not Templar vs Assassin, this is Templar vs Colonists. Set during the American Revolution the game is constantly overshadowed with the fact that just around the corner there is some huge battle raging on as the Templar-controlled British forces close in on the Patriots. In the past things are a little more volatile.
